5.0 out of 5 stars WHEN cRPGs TOUCHED THE SKY, May 6, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Interplay Baldurs Gate Compilation (DVD-ROM)

This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN games I have ever played! And, mind you, I am not an easy customer (feel free to browse through all my reviews, you will see what I mean...)

The original BG series was excellent in all of storyline, gameplay, music and stability. Now, nowadays, sequels usually mean a graphically-improved expansion (at best). BG2 is a rare exception of the sequel clearly SURPASSING the original. And in the case of such great original, this means a lot!

Words fail to describe the perfect harmony of brilliant ideas, emerging story-line and detailed coding that makes this game an unsurpassable classic! This COLLECTION contains all the sequels, patched with the latest fixes. Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you. They were cutting edge only some years ago - and you will be able to unleash their full potential even on mid-range PCs!

I have yet to meet anyone who has played it and not raved about it! Hard-core D&D funs will find the character building, fighting checks and balances and overall experience very close to the actual pen-&-paper games.
Casual computer gamers will notice none of the tedious stuff of other cRPGs as the gameplay runs smooth and beautifully.
You even have the choice to turn it into either a turn-based or an action game by tweaking the auto-pause options! I am telling you: this is how computers games should be!

You will let yourself get lost in the deep dungeons of the labyrinthic story; you will be laughing out loud to the humorous dialog; you will be surprised as to who is a double and triple-agent.
There is an evil beyond imagining unleashed and only you with your party can stand in its way.
Party members offer a multitude of unpredictable balancing points and diverging story-lines of their own: side quests, conflicts and love affairs enrich the story in so many original ways!

A collection of unsurpassed classics!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

As shown on box, each game is compiled onto one disc (no more worrying about prompt screens, "Please insert disc x" every 20 minutes. Although you do have to switch between the expansion and regular disc. For example, when I start it up it wants the Sword Coast expansion. When I load to play, it wants the original. But hey, at least they cut out 90% of the annoying switching.

Does not come with booklets. Just the four CD's in the box, all in white protector sleeves. The CD art is good quality, however.

If you were ever one of those people who loved the pen and paper version of dungeons and dragons you owe it to yourself to pick up these games. They are STILL the best role playing games. With this collection you will have countless hours of entertainment (100+ hrs easily). The storyline of this series is one of the best. graphically, it is dated, but still works on a Windows 7 64bit OS. I've had no issues with the games and they still to this day run flawlessly. BG1 is available on [...] for $[...] USD digitally, but I prefer a hard copy of these games. Amazon was quick on delivery and I had no issues in the packaging.
